The new restaurant on site is called Lazy Days and the side of the building is landscaped with a "crab pot" theme.
This is the front entrance to Lazy Days with this huge rusty anchor. Where does one get a garden ornament like that anyway??
Here's Dave, the marina diver. He inspected our boat bottom and zincs today and cleaned off the slime. Dave reported that Shingebiss doesn't have any barnacles growing and the zincs and metals were all in good shape.
We went for a dinghy ride today. Here's the view looking into the canal where Shingebiss is docked. The building next to our boat is the marina office and you can see the travel lift at the end of the canal.
Here's the view of the restaurant from the water. Work continues on the new docks, the pilings have all been replaced and are awaiting new decking.
Here's a look at some of the boats on the "outside" docks, mostly reserved for the boats over 40 feet long, these lucky folks have the great sunset view.
There's a couple of really big yachts here too.
Even though it was "only" in the 60's today, it was sunny with no wind. The seas were flat so we took the dinghy a little ways out into the ocean. There are several sailboats anchored out here. It appears they have little protection from any weather ... these sailors are a little tougher than we are.
Coming back into the shelter of the harbor, here's a view of the marina.
The good life continues here in the Florida Keys.

I never thought of there being a job such as a marina diver. I wonder if that is full time work and I imagine he has some stories to tell. Your pictures are so nice, I can "almost" imagine I am there. I spent 40 minutes yesterday shoveling myself away from someone's mailbox. but it has been SUNNY ! kathy e.
Hi Kathy,
yes, he makes a living cleaning bottoms, changing zincs and props. This is the busy season, maybe not so much in the summer. It's cheaper than a haul out.
